Fine mapping and cloning of seedling and adult plant resistance genes to leaf rust in barley

Leaf rust caused by Puccinia hordei is one of the most damaging foliar pathogens of barley worldwide. To date the use of genetic resistance has been the most economically and enviro more...

Defining the genetic link between nitrate and ammonium transport proteins and root architecture in Maize and Barley

We have previously tested two contrasting maize inbred lines on their inherent nitrate transport rates and respective responses to growth at low nitrogen supply. The lines were sele more...

Genomics of rust pathogens

The cereal rust pathogens are among the most damaging of all plant pathogens. Using genome sequencing and transcriptome analysis, this project will examine how rust pathogens establ more...

Phylogenetics of rust pathogens

There are about 7,000 rust species, some of which are among the most damaging of all plant pathogens. Using genome sequencing and transcriptome analysis, this project will contribut more...

Mycoviruses of rust pathogens

Most if not all rust species that have been studied to date carry mycovisues. The role of these hyperparasites is not understood at all. The project will undertake sequencing of myc more...

Development of dehydrated silage for export and domestic forage markets

The shortage of land for forage production for ruminants in many countries (e.g., Japan, Korea and China) makes the unit cost of most forages greater than that of grains. As a resul more...
